Science, Medicine, and the Aims of Inquiry : A Philosophical Analysis Hardback

Hardback

Pre-Order

Description

After its unparalleled rise and expansion over the past century, medicine is increasingly criticized both as a science and clinical practice for lacking scientific rigor, for contributing to overmedicalization, and for failing to offer patient-centered care.

This criticism highlights serious challenges which indicate that the scope and societal role of medicine are likely to be altered in the 21st century.

Somogy Varga's ground-breaking book offers a new perspective on the challenges, showing that they converge on fundamental philosophical questions about the nature and aim of medicine.

Addressing these questions, Varga presents a philosophical examination of the norms and values constitutive of medicine and offers new perspectives on how to address the challenges that the criticism raises.

His book will offer valuable input for rethinking the agenda of medical research, health care delivery, and the education of health care personnel.
